Our newbies will see a modest amount of changes.
-Newbatia town now has a higher mob population, triple in some cases.
-Newbatia mobs on an infrequent basis, will now drop hints about nearby areas on Valkyre.
-in each town (not just VK), the Cleric guildmasters slowly drop hints about the location of the temples on that continent.
-in each town (not just VK), the Warrior guildmasters slowly drop hints about Degrance's Army and how to join up.
The chats are set to a low percentage so it takes a fair number of minutes (if only one mob is in a room, almost 15 minutes) before a hint is dropped.
The idea was to have just enough to pique newbies' interest and not have a stream of spam.
In each town, the town quester now gives a scrolling lecture about what drachma IS and WHY we would want to spend it. (In BH, Regis gives the lecture but Hawthorn doesn't. I wanted to see how well this was received first, and it seemd odd to put the lecture on both of them).
